20100034750 | COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF DEMINERALISATION - The invention relates to a composition for the detection of tooth demineralisation. More specifically, the invention concerns a composition comprising a complex capable of producing an optical signal characteristic of the presence of free ions, the pharmaceutical uses of such a composition, and methods and a kit for the detection of active demineralisation at tooth surfaces using such a composition. | 02-11-2010 |
20100239503 | CALCIUM-BINDING AGENTS INDUCE HAIR GROWTH AND/OR NAIL GROWTH - This invention provides novel methods for inducing hair growth and/or inhibiting hair loss and/or inducing nail growth in a mammal. In various embodiments the methods involve administering, e.g., to a mammal in need thereof, a calcium-binding peptide and/or peptide-like moiety in an amount sufficient to induce hair growth and/or to inhibit hair loss. In certain embodiments the agent is topically and/or transdermally administered. | 09-23-2010 |
20110182824 | METHOD AND DOSAGE FORM TO CONFIRM COMPLIANT USE OF A BIOACTIVE AGENT - A dosage form includes a dose of at least one bioactive agent and a substance that is visible to a normal light or to a special light source in the buccal, nasal, vaginal, rectal or ostomic cavity of a patient in order for medical personnel to determine if the patient is being compliant with taking medication or that a person is not truthful in denial of taking medication. The substance is either coating the at least one bioactive agent or intermixed with the at least one bioactive agent in a delivering body, and leaves behind a stain in the cavity for a predetermined period for compliance/abuse assessment. | 07-28-2011 |
20120020891 | METABOLITES FOR ORAL HEALTH AND USES THEREOF - The present invention provides various methods of using metabolite profiles correlated with periodontal disease or a health oral status for the diagnosis of periodontal disease, identification of responders and, or non-responders to therapeutic agents for periodontal disease, a method to test the efficacy of test compounds to prevent periodontal disease. The present invention also provides for a dentifrice composition containing an effective amount of a metabolite therapeutic agent which brings about a greater change in metabolite levels compared to a control dentifrice composition. | 01-26-2012 |
20120107245 | DENTAL COMPOSITION FOR DETECTION OF CARIOUS TISSUE, DETECTION METHOD - A dental composition and method for detecting carious tissue on the surface of a tooth, and the use of the dental composition to manufacture a remedy for detection of carious tissue. The dental composition can comprise an aqueous solution of 1) at least one acidic compound, 2) at least one salt of said acidic compound, 3) at least one indicator that generates a detectable signal when said solution reaches a particular pH value that is less than 5.5; wherein 1) and 2) are selected such that the aqueous solution has a pH of less than that particular pH value where the indicator generates the signal. The method can comprise the steps of 1) providing the above mentioned dental composition, 2) applying said composition to the surface of said tooth, and 3) measuring the amount of time required for the composition to change color. | 05-03-2012 |
